The layout is flexible, as the walk-in closet can also be utilized as a third bedroom should the need arise, making the apartment adaptable to different living situations. The second bedroom is also of a good size and can serve as a guest room, a nursery, or a home office.
The bathroom has been beautifully renovated and offers a touch of luxury to the daily routine. It is a large space equipped with a freestanding bathtub, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
